apparently NASA has improved it's driving techniques & has minimized any new damage to the center two wheels on the rover. the outer four wheels look to be in very good shape still. I really cannot detect any new damage from what we have seen earlier. their so called boogy suspension must put a much heavier loading on the two center wheels, but now they are addressing the problem. the real solution would be to redesign the wheels, or, change to a different setup. :)

Driving on that mudrock the last 150 sols or so has probably been a little easier on the wheels.

Thank you to everyone who has stuck by the YouTube channel and to all of our admins and forum users here on the channel.   They really have kept the website current while I have been busy taking care of things in my personal life.   I promised that the next video would be a long one and have a LOT to look at.  You can get lost in these Gigapans and I really hope that you do!  I spent a lot of time stitching these together and making sure that they were the best quality that I could get them.  SOL 1448 really has been a goldmine for anomaly hunters and those people who are just hobbiest.  I really hope you enjoy this one and expect much more to come from the latest batches of images!
